ATLANTA, October 18-The morning
is cloudy, showing the possibility OF
rain. Trains are bringing thousands of
strangers, yet it is estimated that 5000
or Z 900 of those here last night failed
to find beds. The Presidential party
did not retire until 2 O'Clock this morn
| ing, it having been found impossible to
get their baggage through the
crowds to their rooms earlier. Al
o'clock p. m. the president and
vice president of the exposition called at
| the Presidents rooms and escorted the
President, Mrs. Cleveland and Post
master-General Villas to the capitol
| where they were received by Governor
| Gorcon and the visiting governors.
The Supreme Court of the State, mem
| bers of the governors staff, United
States officials, municipal authorities
and members of the legislature were
presented to the city's guests. This
ceremony over, the distinguished visit
ors, escorted by Governor Gordon, Sen
panied by the visiting governors
and many other people of dis
tinction, proceeded to the exposition
ground. A national salute was fired as
the procession eat; red the gates of
enclosure, and proceeded to the speak
er's stand, where w. II. Grady, vice
president of the exposition, in brief
but eloquent speech, extended a well
come TO the President. the President,
in reply, gave brief sketch of At
lanta's early history, its rapid growth
and terrible destruction during the war
of the rebellion. / have lately seen
evidences OF the activity and perse-
Verance of the people of the United
States in the creation of prosperous and
busting cities and in overcoming diff
culties that are inseparable from the
new settlement and growth of new
cities, but it seems to me that an ele-
ment of heroism is added by the people
who view without despair the de-
struciion of sll they have wrought,
and begin again to build up
their waste places and who, in
spite of the gFj a.est encouragement,
evince determination to reach their
destiny. In twenty-five years, second
Atlanta has been built incoDpara6ly
larger, more prosperous and fairer than
the destroyed Atlanta. Her place is first
among the cities of the great State.
Her constantly increasing business, her
large manufacturing interests are eyi-
dences of the courage and enterprise of
her people. Thew may we'll be proud
of the works of their hands. Nor shall
the glory of their achievement be left to
their sole qualification. All their coun
trymen may congratulate themselves
that what has here b en- done is the |
result of American courage and Ameri-
can enterprise.
After the President concluded, there
were calls for Governor Gordon, who
spoke briefly. The public reception at
the fair grounds was pleasant affair.
